I remember utilizing Kitematic a few months back and I had found a javascript file (I believe) that had the VM name definition stored within the file. Does anyone know another way or the current/proper way to rename the virtual box instance that Kitematic launches? “dev” just isn’t informative enough when it lives with a bunch of my other dev work within virtual box. Thanks!
